# how to install app
### Go to http://64.227.84.118:8888/
- Download the latest `update-demo-win-X.X.X.zip`
- Unzip to folder, and run exe, ignore windows permissions stuff.
# Development: Install
### prerequisites
- docker enabled web accessible server: `im using digital ocean server 64.227.84.118:8888`
- local machine with python 3.7+ installed
## Steps
### on local dev machine
```
git clone
cd /path/to/repo
pip install -r requirements.txt
pyupdater init
pyupdater settings --plugin scp
```
### on web accessible server
```
sudo docker run -d -p 8888:8080 --name simple -v /root/public:/var/www:ro trinitronx/python-simplehttpserver
```
### on local dev machine
```
python main.py
```
# DONE
# Important files to look at
- main.py - gui program with button `update`
- update.py - files handle updates using pyupdater
- client_config.py - location for config of app
##### Take note of location `/root/public` is where the update files will be accessible
# description of how 'update' button works
- when the update button is pressed
- tk calls a function located in update.py called "check_for_update()"
- which
- looks for the latest version of the app at this static file bucket http://64.227.84.118:8888/
- downloads the latest version to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\wisehackermonkey\update-demo folder in windows
- then replaces extracts and replaces the exe with the new version
- kills the app and restarts it grabbing the overwritten exe
# how pushing new app version works
- new feature is added like a new button
- 
- the package version is updated in client_config.py
- the exe is built by issuing `pyupdater build --onefile --hidden-import="pkg_resources.py2_warn" --app-version=1.2.6 main.py`
- which builds the exe into one file with '--onefile' argument
- and "--hidden-import="pkg_resources.py2_warn" fixes an 'pyinstaller' error with pkg_resources.py2_warn giving stopping app from launching, anonying!
- the exe must be cryptographically signed by issuing `pyupdater pkg --sign`
- then uploaded the the docker static file server (trinitronx/python-simplehttpserver) running at 64.227.84.118:8888
- the file is pushed to the server by using 'scp' with login credentals to the server
- the files are uploaded to the directory '/root/public'
- NOTE: to authorize scp `pyupdater settings --plugin scp`
- Username:
- Password:
- Server IP:
- Path to .zip file storage: (my case it was) '/root/public'
- path to "keypack.pyu" file on server
# run docker files server for testing
```bash
sudo docker run --rm -it -p 8888:8080 --name simple -v /root/public:/var/www:ro trinitronx/python-simplehttpserver
or
sudo docker run -d -p 8888:8080 --name simple -v /root/public:/var/www:ro trinitronx/python-simplehttpserver
```
